Haemophilia. 2000 Nov;6(6):709-12. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2516.2000.00450.x.

Abstract

We present two cases in which the occurrence of acquired haemophilia is associated with the use of depot preparations of the thioxanthenes zuclopenthixol and flupenthixol. These drugs have not previously been implicated in the aetiology of acquired haemophilia.
